Choosing a therapist is like embarking on a journey to a faraway destination. There are many routes you can take; some may be fast, others may be slow, other routes can show you things you never dreamed possible and some routes are routine. Taking the wrong route can be disappointing whereas the correct route can be life changing. I encourage you to find a therapist who fits your style, someone who will ride along and explore with you, and someone who you enjoy being with through the trials and tribulations, as well as the happiness and joy, of your unique journey. I hope I fit the role of your navigator in this journey we call life

Life feels confusing and often times overwhelming. You're not sure what is 'normal' and you're exhausted by the intensity of your emotions. You feel like you've exhausted all other options. You’re hoping to find someone who can listen without the fear of judgement. Who can offer support and help you get answers. You’re wanting the thoughts that tell you “you’re not good enough” to stop. Whether this is a new pain or a chronic one, by looking for help you are taking a courageous step. I understand how scary it can be to ask for help.

You come to therapy to face hard truths in your life and learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth and tact, giving genuine feedback. I have over 25 years of experience helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life stress. Sometimes you're depressed & sometimes your life is depressing-usually it's some of both. I address both, helping you change the way you think, act, & feel, while also looking at your whole life situation, environment, lifestyle, friends & stressors.

The world is changing rapidly, and young people — especially those in high school, college, or just starting out in adult life — are facing an overwhelming mix of pressure, uncertainty, and disconnection. Between academic demands, identity exploration, social media, and questions about the future, it’s no wonder that anxiety, depression, and burnout are so common. And for those navigating ADHD, these challenges can feel even more intense. Now more than ever, prioritizing mental health isn’t optional — it’s essential.
